Hello, now that WestWord has a new home on Substack I’m really excited to bring you lots more chances to get writing, get published and develop your craft.
There are now nine submissions opportunities a year and all of them offer payment to the writers that are selected for the editions. The new paid subscriptions to WestWord include submissions to all of these plus craft development posts and monthly workshops dedicated to developing your short fiction practice. Replay links will be provided for those of you who can’t make the live times. I will also run polls to get votes on workshop subjects so that I deliver what you want for your craft.
I will also be nominating stories for awards - Best Small Fictions, Best Microfictions, Best of the Net, etc. Plus, I work editorially with writers preparing the stories for submission so that they are the best that they can be.
I’m looking forward to developing great relationships with lots of writers and bringing their words to the world.
You can see all of the submission opportunities here:
With love,
